Opening Times

Your experience will last one hour and we do ask that visitors arrive 10 minutes prior to their tour so that the tour can leave on time! We recommend that you pre-book your tickets to avoid disappointment

* Please note that the tour of The Real Mary King's Close is not suitable for children under 5, therefore they are not admitted.

To ensure you do not miss out on your tour of The Real Mary King’s Close, we do recommend reserving your places in advance as tour spaces are limited and for this reason we do get very busy at the usual peak times – Hogmanay, on weekends, school holidays and during the August festivals period for example.

You can book your tickets on-line here to be sure of your space!
